A Portrait in Neutrals

Hey, it's Thursday! And you know what that means: it's nearly Friday! This week is my first 5-day week since the end of May - this is killing me.

Anyway, here we are, another outfit...full of neutrals. I was pretty happy with it, actually, I am missing colour. I didn't deliberately set out to wear lots of neutrals this week. Sometimes that's just what happens.

The top is my striped hook-and-eye piece that I first wore with my red leather skirt last week, here. One of my colleagues complimented the portrait neckline - I knew it was called that, but it was a nice reminder. Who doesn't like a nice portrait neckline? It's always flattering to the neck.

This skirt is one I've had for a few years. I last wore it in the March 2012 capsule (recap here), where I wore it 3 times.

One of the directors at work told me this skirt did amazing things for my butt - I love that she said that. I think women are far too catty with each other, and should give each other compliments more often!

The stuff:

The weather has turned cold and windy, with lots of rain. Blah - so not the June weather I want! I hope it gets nicer for the Canada Day long weekend next week.

Despite the freezing weather, I am gamely soldiering on with wearing my sandals, which were last seen here with a 70s kitchen and a knock-of Hermes scarf.

This Smoking Lily obi gets lots of love.

The long chain is sewn onto a strip of leather and wraps around my wrist.

I love the cut of that top! I agree with you on the compliments. One reason I love my boss is she and I can just be straight with each other. No hemming or hawwing or bullshitting. We just talk to each other like human beings!

It is hard to have a five day week after not having that many! I know how that goes! And that was a great compliment you received - you are right that we women should build each other up more instead of tearing each other down!

Very nice neutral outfit - like above, I am going to agree that the skirt showcases your lovely bum! Compliments are great to receive -sadly too often it can be the 'side-eye' instead. I am lucky to work with some nice people, too.

Comments are so incredibly special, and I love them and hug them and treasure them forever. Please feel free to tell me what you think! I try to respond to every one, so if you want to know what I said, tick that "Notify me" box and it'll ping your email!
